Bardwell - I totally agree with what you say about there being lots of people here who originate from other parts of the country. You can hear that from their accents. And I agree that both long standing locals and recent arrivals can, and do, have lots of things in common. But see that first sentance in "local's" posting above. That is exactly the time of thing that gets thrown at us if we try to ...

The playing fields at Sandy Lane Dawlish are dear to the heart of many town residents. Tesco is considering putting forward planning application to build a supermarket there. A group of residents set up Dawlish Against Developing Sandy Lane (dads) in September are trying to stop plans going forward. Tesco held a public consultation at the Langstone Cliff Hotel in December where they put ...

Just been informed by Richard Younger-Ross's office that the meeting scheduled for this Friday (11th Jan) has had to be cancelled. Richard Y-R hoping to reschedule meeting for next month so that both supermarkets (Tesco and Sainsbury) can attend. That's all I know.

An outspoken campaigner from Dawlish is quitting Britain claiming 'spy cameras' are driving him out of the country. Keith Sharp, 69, is moving thousands of miles away to Argentina saying he is tired of being spied on.The divorced author and retired journalist of Barton Crescent is planning a more sedate - and private - life in Mendoza which nestles at the foot of the Andes. Before leaving he ...

Who's to know if Tesco's haven't suffered the same level of data loss - we'd just never be told as they have no responsibility to Parliament as do public bodies.

You should know.

Yeah, because ufo's exist....

Jim is right, Limewire is legal due to it being shared files, but there is often quite a few viruses that come through, so maybe it isn't the safest of download sites...but then again, even sites like bbc or gemini fm, haven't got 100% security of no viruses so really, all download sites aren't safe. I have relatives who have used Limewire and it's completly mucked up their computer, but for ...

I have just walked up sandy lane and there were a group of people coming out of the bowling club when a car roared past, three of the people just stood in shock and couldn't beleive any one could be so stupid to drive at that speed near a childrends play park. I explained to them this is not a one off, it happens all the time.

EU look at the site Migration Watch UK it has all the facts and figures they are independant and advise the goverment

If Dawlish had a proper Farmers' Market it might also draw people in from surrounding villages plus tourists in the holiday season. This would knock spots of the so called attractions of a supermarket because: 1. All food would be fresh and locally produced. 2. All monies spent would go back into the local economy.

There were a few mentions on here about Betfred not needed. I guess it is used though. No complaints that HSBC Bank left Dawlish and as you know Barclays Bank pulled out ages ago. By the way is good Boots do 'Midnight Pharmacy' they had a right battle to get prescriptiosn didnt they.

4 pint's of milk from iceland £1. mars bars £1.35p total £2.35. 4 pint's of milk from co-op £1.38p mars bars 99p total £2.37. Iceland win by 2p. O.K. but who wants to live on milk and mars bars!

Very true .. many shops must be thinking of 'upsticks' right now. I see no reason really to stay put.. the holiday people will shop up Exeter Road with the FREE parking, the locals are queing already lol, so trade surely has to be limited in town.

I'm sure the photographer will decide the best place to take photos - which amongst other things may be determined by how many people turn up. That the photo will be taken on Sandy Lane playing fields somewhere will be enough to make the point I think.

Following a report in yesterdays Express & Echo, a Dawlish man has written a letter stating the speed cameras were sited illegally therefore he and others were found not guilty. He also said Dawlish Town Council spent more than £80,000, not £60,000 on the surveillance cameras which do not work at night.

There is a public meeting next Friday (11th Jan) to discuss this very issue of whether or not Dawlish needs/wants a supermarket. Dawlish Community College 6.00pm - 8.30pm Meeting organised by our MP - Richard Younger-Ross.

Dawlish will feature in a national documentary about the controversy surrounding speed and spy cameras. The documentary will be shown on channel five in the spring. Dom Joly recently visited Dawlish to film the two episodes. The first will look at the notorious speed camera in the neighbouring village of Starcross, which resulted in the wrongful conviction of hundreds of drivers. A Dawlish ...

There was a fire in the basement of the pharmacy.

Its rumoured to be from the old days in Teignmouth harbour.

Yeah, right on man.

I have lost contact with my mate samantha whiley she moved to Dawlish about 5 years ago I have lost her address and moved so she cannot contact me cheers

its lack of parental responsibility

Olive, suggest you tell Teignbridge District Council about this church land - and also make a big fuss about the waste in as many ways as you can. Write to papers? Write to local Cllrs?

Yes I know about contacting the land registry but Anon was more or less saying that s/he knew the name of company so......why can't Anon tell us?

Sorry its Guys and gals

Hi Guya and Gals just to wish all all a very happy new year from sunny Brisbane

I have baby guinea pigs for sale. * males and females * ready now * very friendly , been handled since birth * mum and dad available to see * £10 each

Oh well, we will either get our supermarket or we wont, if we do get it (wherever it may be), it would be great, but if we dont get it, its not the end of the world either! There are a lot more things that we could be worrying about, and life here in Dawlish will go on as normal, there are more important things in life than a supermarket. On that note, i wish everybody a very happy new year.

Dawlish Town shocked Truro by putting 5 goals past them in their match at Sandy Lane to win the match 5-2. The result will help their ambition to finish in the top 2 places and gain promotion to the Southern League.

ok thanks

A 77-year-old Dawlish man was left bleeding on the pavement as yobs ran off. The man, who was on his way to work as Santa in a Torquay Department Store, was dressed in 'civvies' and was about to go into a convenience store in Dawlish when he was harassed by six teenagers outside the store. The teenagers demanded him to go into the store to buy them alcohol, he then slipped and fell, the ...
